Just like any machine, quantum computers are prone to make errors. These errors can cause the qubits to lose their quantum states, leading to inaccurate computations. To address this problem, quantum ...

Two-dimensional projection of a quantum spherical code composed of two copies (black and red) of the four complex dimensional Witting polytope. This code can correct up to five photon losses of any ...

The researchers have proven PLANAR's effectiveness on surface codes under particular noise conditions and plan to adapt it for non-planar graphs with finite genus, opening the door to broader use in ...

Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method ...

Recent breakthroughs in quantum physics have unlocked extraordinary possibilities, reshaping not only the future of technology but also the potential for human evolution. One such milestone occurred ...

Computer scientist Peter Gutmann tells The Reg why it's 'bollocks' The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic ...

In the world of quantum error correction, an underdog is coming for the king. Last week, new simulations from two groups reported that a rising class of quantum error ...

A team of physicists has entangled three photons over a considerable distance, which could lead to more powerful quantum cryptography. This month, three scientists won the Nobel Prize in Physics for ...
